The association Les champs de Booz fulfills this mission of welcoming, in a non-confessional and apolitical manner, and with great open-mindedness, single women, asylum seekers, refugees, and political refugees.
It is the only structure in Île-de-France that has voluntarily focused on single women, without children, partners, or family, thus addressing a gap in this area.
These women, coming from Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Tibet, the Democratic Republic of Congo... are prey to all dangers, in their home countries, on the road to exile, and even when they arrive in France. “They need to be sheltered,” insists Tristane de Choiseul.
Thus, Les champs de Booz helps them with housing, food, clothing, and also offers administrative assistance for their asylum applications. Tristane de Choiseul is also a doctor for the association. She sees these women or refers them to specialists.
“I would like us to try to understand who these people are, why they come,” explains the president of the association. “Everyone aspires to a better life. We should not have preconceived ideas, which are often false. We have a duty of humanity.”
